### null review (5/5)

My two kids started at Harewood Road Montessori just two months ago, and I was truly surprised by how quickly they settled into the new environment. The staff are incredibly helpful and build strong, positive relationships with the children. Their communication is excellent — they keep us updated about anything happening between the kids and inform us promptly about sickness or other important news through Storypark. I also loved how we can have a little book for nursery room to update parents their day going at preschool.

My children are much happier at this centre and have learned so much since joining. Highly recommended!

This is a truly exceptional centre. We have two children here and we couldn’t be happier. The staff are very capable and committed to child development. They build awesome relationships with all the children and it’s obvious there’s a great team culture. I love the age appropriate education they provide, the creative activities, the language options (with many of the teachers bi-lingual) and how the teachers genuinely engage and interact with them during free play time. They don’t just supervise, they’re involved. The communication is also great. We are always kept up to date with all the activities via frequent story park posts and photos. Thank you for everything you do. Highly recommend!

We are fairly new to this preschool, and I'm honestly lost of words about how amazing this place is. The teachers heard my concerns, my wants and needs my son and I had coming in. They took action immediately when we started, and  it showed that they really listened which put my worries at ease. My son absolutely enjoys his time there and comes back home and telling us what he has done/learned. He is also a picky eater as well, and has been willing to eat new things at how which has been the best. Appreciate all staff there being so welcoming and kind!
